Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Treatment Using Functional Medicine 45:26

for 6 dager siden45:26

45:26

In this episode I dive into chronic fatigue syndrome and functional medicine from different angles. CFS is a syndrome, not a disease , involving neurological, immune, and gut dysfunction, often leaving patients feeling dismissed. Root causes include infections (Epstein-Barr, Lyme, mold), gut dysbiosis, and neuroinflammation, with immune weakness playing a key role. Traditional medicine only manages symptoms with medications, failing to address the underlying issues, leaving many without lasting relief. Functional medicine targets root causes , using personalized lab testing and treatments rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Functional neurology is crucial for CFS recovery, assessing brain function and connectivity to ensure a more effective treatment plan.…

Genetic Blueprint for Sustainable Weight Loss with Dr. Phyllis Key Takeaways: Genetics & Weight Loss Resistance Dr. Phyllis shares how genetic testing helped her lose 100 pounds and how understanding genetic variations can reveal why traditional diets fail for some people. 12 Genetic Avatars & Personalized Strategies She explains her concept of “genetic avatars,” including cortisol carriers and dopamine drivers, and how tailoring diet, exercise, and lifestyle based on genetics leads to sustainable weight loss. Beyond "Calories In, Calories Out" Genetic factors like reduced thermogenesis, inflammation, and fat storage efficiency play a major role in weight struggles, debunking the idea that willpower alone determines success. Brain-Body Connection & Emotional Eating Stress, gut health, and neurotransmitters like dopamine significantly impact cravings, metabolism, and weight regulation, making mindset shifts essential for long-term results. Fasting, Hormones & Long-Term Success Dr. Phyllis discusses the pros and cons of fasting, the impact of stress hormones on weight loss, and how sustainable changes—not quick fixes—are key to achieving and maintaining results.…

Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Band-Aid Diagnosis or Root Cause Issue? 15:10

for 20 dager siden15:10

15:10

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Band-Aid Diagnosis or Root Cause Issue? Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) – Dr. Zimmerman breaks down the diagnostic criteria for CFS, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, including persistent fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and unrefreshing sleep. Overlapping Symptoms & Misdiagnosis Risks – Many conditions share symptoms with CFS, such as autoimmune disorders, thyroid dysfunction, and neurological issues. Without proper testing, a CFS diagnosis may be a "band-aid" rather than addressing the true cause. Key Systems to Evaluate – Dr. Z emphasizes the importance of examining three major systems: the immune system (COVID, mold exposure, autoimmunity), the nervous system (concussions, strokes), and energy production (blood sugar, thyroid, anemia, hormones, sleep). The nervous system should still be evaluated even if you haven't had a concussion or a stroke. The Link Between Long COVID & CFS – Many post-COVID symptoms closely resemble CFS, suggesting viral triggers may play a significant role. Identifying immune system dysfunction is key to proper treatment. A Whole-Body Approach to Recovery – Instead of symptom management, Dr. Z advocates for a root-cause approach, integrating functional neurology and medicine to optimize brain-body health and restore energy levels. 🔹 Listen now to learn how to uncover the real reason behind your chronic fatigue and take steps toward lasting recovery!…

Root Causes & Triggers: Understand the connection between POTS and factors like autoimmune conditions, concussions, long COVID, gut health, mast cell activation, and hormonal imbalances. Why Conventional Treatments Fall Short: Find out why simply taking salt tablets, wearing compression stockings, or using beta-blockers may not be enough—and what a more comprehensive approach looks like. A Functional Approach to POTS: Dr. Zimmerman breaks down a neurological and immune-based framework for evaluating and treating POTS, focusing on brain function, balance, gut health, and inflammation.
